Conclusion

This last chapter discusses the need for interdisciplinary research and approaches for well-being. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the intersections of well-being with architecture, social sciences, medicine, as well as neuroscience. Recent well-being research shows that we have the amazing ability to reshape our brains, to change our affective mindsets, and to improve our well-being. On the other hand, it is necessary to understand cultural differences and its effects on well-being and to grasp the issue in accordance with the specific context. Therefore, the conclusion tries to understand how design and architecture can contribute to the way we build up well-being. Since interior space is one of the most important determinants of our everyday experiences, its role in well-being as a conscious construct needs to be the most important concern of spatial design.
